Chapter 162: Witches And Shamans

After much hesitation, Nyissa forcibly opened Viktor's mouth and made a cut on her hand with her dagger as blood began to ooze out.

She then immediately moved her hand over to Viktor's mouth and let her blood drip inside his mouth, and placed his head in such a way that her blood would find its way down his throat on its own.

Viktor's complexion began to slightly improve and became a bit rosy as her blood continued to drip into his mouth.

But before she could take her hand away, thinking he had enough, Viktor's hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Oh? Somebody seems eager to feed me, huh?" Viktor asked with a smile as he opened his eyes.

Nyissa's face reddened in embarrassment, thinking that Viktor misunderstood her.

She immediately shook off his hand as she stumbled back with her arms and said in a defensive tone, "O-Of course, not. I just couldn't let you die from the cold before getting some answers, especially when you stripped me while I was asleep. Tell me the truth, what else did you do?" Nyissa asked with a dark expression.

Viktor could see that she was angry about what he did and said as he got up, "Look, I am sorry I had to do that.. But you were going to die, and I couldn't just sit still and watch."

Nyissa's expression flickered hearing his words but then asked skeptically, "Why would you try to save me when I am the one who tried to capture you and even stabbed you in the heart? If I didn't know better, you could have easily slit my throat and ran away."

"Whoa, hold on. Now, why would I slit the throat of such a beautiful girl due to some misunderstandings which can be easily solved? Haven't you heard the teachings of the founder of the Dozuhin religion, Devong? He said that we must treat our enemies as friends so that one day they would become our friends as well," Viktor said in a wizened tone though the main reason he saved her was that he needed her help other than wanting to earn her goodwill.

Still, he couldn't simply let go of this chance to score some points and rectify the misunderstandings she had slowly.

Nyissa squinted her eyes and asked as if she could hardly believe his words, "Do you mean that you saved me because you wanted me to be your friend?"

Viktor scurried towards her, who moved sideways, wondering what he was up to.

But Viktor simply sat beside her and leaned against the wall as he said, "Why not? Even though you seem like a stuck up girl-"

"Stuck up, excuse me?" Nyissa didn't know why she was getting exasperated over his comment when previously she never minded what others said.

Viktor gestured with his hand as he continued, "Even though you seem like one, I know you are a good girl inside and quite honorable as well, which is quite rare among men and women of today. So...it would be a sin if I didn't make friends with someone whose beauty and character could put goddesses to shame."

Nyissa couldn't help but feel slight flutters in her stomach, but then she said with a huff, "Your tongue is indeed too smooth."

Viktor smirked, "That is what most say though I can't help but state the truth. Anyways, are you feeling alright now? Before, you were in pretty bad shape."

Viktor was inwardly amazed to see that Nyissa had healed up faster than he thought.

Nyissa glanced at him sideways, wondering whether his concern was sincere or not. Still, she said, "We all have our ways to heal, don't we?"

"Still talking cryptically, huh? Then at least tell me who hurt you like that before? It must have been someone very powerful to have hurt you like that," Viktor said in a thoughtful tone though he wondered why he was unconscious for so long.

Nyissa looked at his eyes and could tell that he really couldn't remember what happened, especially the fact that he almost killed her.

She couldn't understand what really happened to him, but she was in a dilemma about telling him or not.

But finally, she chose not to tell him since she never wanted him to know that there was such a side to him in hopes that he would never change into that bloodthirsty person ever again so that she wouldn't have to take measures against him.

After interacting with him so far, she thought that Viktor was telling the truth when he said he wasn't General Raoul anymore. Since if he really was, she wouldn't be alive.

"It only happened due to my carelessness. I was just distracted and got caught by surprise. But I took care of the problem, so there is nothing to worry about," Nyissa casually said without a change in her expression.

But she was still having a mental battle about what she should do with him about if she should report his existence to her clan or not since she already experienced fighting against his bloodthirsty side, making her wonder if the Blood Demon was still alive as a dormant personality inside him.

This only made her even more confused, unable to understand what was going on with Viktor exactly.

Viktor nodded, seeing that she didn't consider it as anything big, and asked, "So...what are you people exactly? I heard you mention that your ancestor learned mystic arts from some powerful shamans."

Viktor was curious about these people since this was his first time meeting people who were not ordinary humans. Also, since Nyissa was over 900 years old, he felt as if he finally found a person who was similar to him in the age aspect since he was mentally not too older than her, which made him feel like she could become a good companion with whom he could share certain thoughts that he can't with ordinary people.

Nyissa looked at him and said, "I am a witch, and yes, our clan consists of witches and shamans."
